Method
Step 1:
Place all of the ingredients except the 50g of whole nuts into a mixer with a dough hook attached. Mix to a soft dough and knead for 5 minutes.
Step 2:
If mixing by hand, put the flours, sugar, salt, wheatgerm, syrup and the chopped nuts into a bowl. Sprinkle on the yeast and mix to a soft dough with the butter and milk. Knead on a floured board for 10 minutes.
Step 3:
Shape into 12 rolls and place slightly apart on a greased baking tray, cover with oiled cling film. Leave to prove until double in size. Preheat oven to 190°C (fan 170°C or gas mark 5).

Recipe Reviews
I made these for the second time at the weekend and they were very delicious. I bought the Billingtons maple syrup as suggested and it added a beautiful flavour that I didn't get when I used some maple syrup I had in my pantry. Very happy with that recommendation, thank you.
